Google clearly saw my search engine's week-long outage as I reconstructed the index and felt confused and intimidated by the revelation that 89.9999% also is five nines.
Down in Sydney. Intermittent errors when searching.<p>How am I supposed to work? Also, I don't remember when Google Search was last down. Either google has great uptime, or I have terrible memory.
Gonna use this as a chance to pub <a href="https://search.brave.com" rel="nofollow">https://search.brave.com</a><p>I switched to this from DuckDuckGo several months ago because Brave uses their own index, while DDG famously uses Bing's. The results are a lot better in my experience and it feels like the search engine is built for me instead of for advertisers. Brave search just feels like cleaner, quieter tech. I've also never seen NSFW results on an innocuous search (a problem I had regularly with DDG). On the rare occasion I end up using Google, seeing the results page is a jarring (and slightly stressful) experience with all of the distractions and irrelevant results.

Still down for me. Sometimes getting this message:<p><pre><code> Server Error
We're sorry but it appears that there has been an internal server error while processing your request. Our engineers have been notified and are working to resolve the issue.
</code></pre>
And then sometimes getting a more generic 500 message.
Really curious to see how a single (albeit large) DC issue caused a global outage.<p>Further; was the DC not protected by redundant power?<p>Also even more interested to see how this arc flash even happened. Presumably these were experienced engineers working with obviously dangerous power levels.

I had an issue earlier today where an email forwarded to a Gmail address was not available to the recipient for an hour later. The delivery time was correct in message header but the message was delayed in displaying on their end.
Maybe something to do with the new Gmail redesign that seems to have rolled out today? Or at least I just got it today, despite the fact that it was ostensibly released a month ago.
I thought it was me searching about a Brother laser printer mentioned in another thread on HN... Considering I am in BC it seems like I should be using a closer DC.
Good time to switch to a search engine that
has code snippets, coding tutorials, AI code completion, AI blog writing, a useful yelp app, great privacy, gives control over the sources and apps I want to see and summarizes pros/cons for products.<p>you.com<p>(founder here :)
No Worries! The Google Server in Mountain View has had a disk failed in it's RAID and therefore the sqlite-DB has only half the iops to it's disposal. A new 500GB hard disk is already in dispatch with Amazon. These are the moments why Google is a proud Amazon Prime customer.
If we didn’t need more evidence of search quality sliding downhill. When was the last time this happened for enough people (failed ab tests don’t count) that it cropped up on HN and got several confirmations that it was happening to other people. Not a good look for Google.
